David duChemin, Photographer

Remaining creative and finding joy in that work isn't a sprint to the finish.  It's a long run and if you don't pace yourself, whether you do this vocationally or not, you run out of steam.  The creative process has a rhythm and requires not just time but energy, and to keep that energy you need to watch how fast you burn it.  Whether you're a so-called working pro or not, your creative energy and drive are your greatest assets; do what you need to protect them.

I love this man's work and words ... his photographs too.

Joy

Sometimes, when you don't see a family for a few years, they have another beautiful baby and, if you're really lucky, you are invited to return and attempt to capture something of them all over again.
